CO Hello

I have been a member for a while and purchased two Rx8's last year. One is a 2005 that the dealer thought was dead. Turns out it was flooded so I have put over 7k miles on it. It does have overall low compression, but still runs nice.

The other is a 2004 that was really dead, has bad rear rotor. It had a lot of love put into it at one time. Full Greddy turbo kit, Greddy pulleys all around, Greddy oil pan, Greddy radiator, aftermarket exhaust, 5zigen wheels and leather interior.

Right now I am just enjoying the 2005 while it runs and trying to decide what my plan is for both cars.

I also own an 86 Rx7.

Thanks, I will check out the links. One of the things that bugs me is rattles under the car and rattles inside the car.

Wow, those 8's sure make that version of the 7 look old! Hasn't aged well, visually.

My wheel combo and suspension setup doesn't help the Rx7 looks much either.
